Hogwood is a huge black and white pig. He's tired of spending winter in the barn and smells spring outside. Mud. Mud. He's smart and he's figured out how to open the gate. It's time to go find gardens with good things to eat and it's time to find mud with its great smell and so much squishiness to roll around in. But the neighbors are not happy about this, and he is captured and returned to his barn, as he has been many times before.
The illustrations are what drew me to the book - it's a perfect blend of text and visual.
I'm going to share this with my 7th grade class - we're reading Animal Farm and talk every day about pigs! Very cute.
